The Queen, / hear, has given way TO remon-
strances and entreaties from society and changed
the route of her Jubilee procession once more. She
consents to return from Westminster Abbey by Pail
Mall and st. James's-st instead of cutting through
the Horse Guards and getting back to buckingham !
Palace by the shortest possible route. The change
will enable most of the leading clubs of London TO
fill their windows with the flower of the fashion
able world. The rule which excludes ladies Is
always suspended on these occasions.
WhitMonday has served as usual as a great holi- |
day for wOrkingnen. Thor trades unions and
other associations turned out in force No politics
interfered with the enjoyment of the holiday, but
perhaps the weather was as bad as politics raw |
forbidding and dull. Places of amusement were |
thIonged all day. Buffalo Bill with his Wild West
show and the American Exhibition easily heads the |
list with according to report, nearly hundred |
thousand Wis tors. The Alexandra PALACE comes |
next with 10000, then tie Crystal Palace with
81 200. Tory and Gladstonian journals are ex-
changing taunts because neither political party
thought it worth while to organize demonstration
IN Hyde Park or elsewhere. The theatres, which
the burning of the Opera Comique is said to have
empted, were full enough last night. The music
halls were more crowded STILL with considerably
less chance of getting out in case OF ire

The first two editorials in this mornings Times
are devoted TO purely literary subjects fact per-
haps without precedent in the history of that
journal The leading article, over column long,
contains elaborate argument and protest against
turning the great Bodleian Library at Oxford into
lending library, as proposed by the new statute on
which the Convccation votes to-day. If that stat
ME is adopted, Bodey's library, for which Oxford
is known aud envled the world over. will be gone
forever. The second article is really review of
the late Lord Iddesleg's lectures and ESSAYS. just
